Aurora Borealis
Kristen Wolverton/John Chismar
Love Marble Hoe-Down, 1996

Whoever said to read your fortune from a wine glass
Cried tea leaves when eyelashes flaked from the trees

Plants cower in the snowflake sky
Take me to where we all get high
Wellspring wail, sink your toes in the shell
Reflect your soul in Orion's belt

Where venus bleeds from her heels
The weeds grow high, diamond tears
And violets of red, synthetic trip
A gingerbread boy, mooncalf, garbed in
Ice wave screams, the silence is overwhelming
The frost that breeds the sparkling seed
Crack the sheet with your heat
Tic-tac-flow

Let me sit and drink from your green goblet
My back is turned to the bacchinal

Wellspring wail, sink your toes in the shell
Reflect your soul in Orion's belt
Plants cower in the snowflake sky
Take me to where we all get high
